| 20110038710 | Application of Dense Vertically Cracked and Porous Thermal Barrier Coating to a Gas Turbine Component - A configuration for coating a turbine component such as a blade or vane with various forms of thermal barrier coating to provide enhanced temperature capability and increased strain tolerance is disclosed. A gas path surface of the platform, airfoil and airfoil fillet region are first coated with a bond coating. A dense vertically cracked (DVC) thermal barrier coating is then applied to at least the gas path surface of the platform and can be applied to the fillet region. A porous thermal barrier coating is then applied to at least the airfoil. The porous thermal barrier coating can also be applied over the DVC thermal barrier coating if desired. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20090151438 | WRIST PIN SENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method, and a system employing the method, for determining a position of a rotational part in a reciprocating machine. The system includes a quadrature encoder and an interrupter coupled to the rotational element. As the interrupter rotates with the wrist pin, the quadrature encoder generates some binary signals based on the rotation of the wrist pin. A digital-to-analog converter then converts the binary signals into a single analog signal. The system then wirelessly transmits the single analog signal for processing by other remote components. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20110015878 | ROTATIONAL TORQUE MEASUREMENT DEVICE - A device for measuring torque applied through a rotating member. A first torsion reference member is fixedly coupled to the rotating member at a first axial position and a second torsion reference member is fixedly coupled to the rotating member at a second axial position. A first detector detects the passage of the first torsion reference member past the first detector upon each full rotation of the rotating member and to generate a first signal upon each passage of the first torsion reference member. A second detector detects the passage of the second torsion reference member past the second detector upon each full rotation of the rotating member and to generate a second signal upon each passage of the second torsion reference member. A controller calculates a phase difference between the first signal and the second signal relative during rotation of the rotating member under a torsional load. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20080223962 | Biological Sample Disruption Techniques - Improved ball mill disruption techniques. In different embodiments, disrupting particles that are not substantially spherical are used. In other embodiments, roughened disrupting particles are used. In other embodiments, larger disrupting particles are used. In each instance, improved disruption can be achieved. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080274458 | NUCLEIC ACID QUANTITATION METHODS - The invention relates to a method of determining the amount of a target nucleic acid sequence in a sample, the method comprising: obtaining multiple distinguishable amplicons of the target nucleic acid sequence, each comprising a distinguishing tag and a target portion; amplifying the amplicons in a single reaction volume; and detecting nucleic acids amplified from the amplicons. Detection of the distinguishable amplicons can be varied in each of the steps of the method, which expands the dynamic range of the nucleic acid quantification methods and improves the reliability and accuracy of the methods. | 11-06-2008 |

| 20110079055 | COMBINATION DISCUS LOCK ASSEMBLY AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME - The present disclosure describes combination discus locks and methods for using and making the combination discus lock assembly. The locks include a lock body at least partially containing a locking mechanism coupled to a plurality of engagement members with indicia disposed thereon, capable of displaying a combination. An actuator is coupled to the locking mechanism and to a locking member. The locking member is in a closed position, connected to the body, when the combination is not displayed and in an open position, at least partially disengaged from the lock body, when the combination is displayed. The actuator is manipulated to move the locking member from the closed position to the open position. The lock may also be resettable. | 04-07-2011 |
